Overview

What is hotel revenue management consulting in Oklahoma City?

Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review followed by a plan. I look at 12 to 24 months of your own data, shop your comp set, and find where rates, restrictions or channels are costing you money. Unlike outsourcing, I do not make your daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.

This is my view of Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City and Broken Bow share a heading but not a strategy. Oklahoma City runs on Thunder games, the State Fair and conventions, while Broken Bow is a cabin market filled by Dallas families driving up for the weekend. For cabins, the hot tub and the weekend rules decide most of the revenue.

For an Oklahoma City or Broken Bow owner, I treat city and cabin homes as different businesses: event-led pricing in town, feature and weekend pricing in the pines. I review your comps, rules and calendar, then hand you a plan that matches how your guests actually book and when they decide.

The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Oklahoma City.

How I price it

My Oklahoma City calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. January to FebruaryLow

    City homes lean on corporate and medical weekdays, while Broken Bow cabins sell fireplace weekends; I keep cabin Fridays and Saturdays above weekdays even in the coldest weeks.

  2. March to MayShoulder

    Texas Spring Break sends families to Beavers Bend, so I price those weeks one by one; in the city I load Thunder playoff dates the moment the bracket confirms home games.

  3. June to AugustHigh

    The Women's College World Series fills the city in early June; cabins run full summer weekends, and I allow shorter weekday stays for river floats and lake days.

  4. September to NovemberHigh

    The State Fair, autumn conventions and foliage around Beavers Bend make this a strong stretch; I raise October cabin weekends and price fair dates up for homes near the fairgrounds.

  5. DecemberShoulder

    Bricktown holiday lights and Hochatown cabin getaways keep weekends busy; I price Christmas and New Year as dated premiums and hold midweek floors where they are.

Where I price differently in Oklahoma City

Bricktown and Midtown
Walking distance to Thunder games, the canal and the convention centre; I price game nights and big shows as dated premiums and keep weekdays level with downtown hotels.
Plaza District and Paseo Arts District
Character homes in creative neighbourhoods suit couples and festival visitors; I price for style and local feel, with weekend minimums during arts festivals.
Hochatown and Beavers Bend
The core cabin cluster for Texas families; I tier cabins by hot tub, view and sleeping capacity, and keep weekends firm against the very large supply around them.

What I check first in Oklahoma City

  • Whether a Broken Bow cabin listing leads with the hot tub, fire pit and game room in its first photos, because Dallas families shortlist on features before they compare nightly rates.
  • How many weekend nights over the next three months are booked compared with similar Hochatown cabins, since a slow pace there usually means the rate is out of line rather than demand being weak.
  • Whether the city home sits within walking distance of Bricktown, the Paycom Center or the fairgrounds, because event guests choose by distance to the venue rather than by suburb.

When hotel revenue management consulting makes sense in Oklahoma City

Performance has flattened

RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.

Opening, renovating or rebranding

You need the operator's numbers checked by someone outside the hotel.

You have a team but want a better plan

Someone prices today and wants an audit, a calendar and training.
